BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 25, 1908.

Application filed November 30, 1907. Serial No. 404,544.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN B. REILY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Collinston, in the parish of Morehouse and State of Louisiana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to bottles, and the object of the invention is to provide a bottle with means whereby the fraudulent refilling of the bottle with imitation or foreign liquors may be readily detected.

To these and other ends the invention resides in the novel construction of bottles hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of a bottle constructed in accordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken upon the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

In the drawing the numeral 1 indicates a bottle of any ordinary or preferred construction and having the ordinary reduced neck ortion 2. Formed integrally with the neck 2 of the bottle is an auxiliary neck 3 forming an outlet passage for the contents of the bot tle. The auxiliary neck 3 is of an approximate cone shaped body, diver ing from the mouth of the bottle neck into t e crooked or .S-shaped reduced portion extending below the neck into the body of the bottle.

It will be noted by reference to the accompanying drawing that one wall of the bottle neck 2 comprises a wall of the auxiliary neck 3, while the opposite wall of the auxiliary neck is formed integral with the opposite wall of the bottle neck near the openmg of the neck, and diverges away from this wall un til it is formed into the crooked or S-shaped portion of the auxiliary neck, thus providing a space between the auxiliary neck and the neck of the bottle.

The crooked or S-shaped extension of the auxiliary neck extending within the body of the bottle, terminates in a horizontal channel or chamber 4, provided upon two of its sides with the openings or perforations 5, whereby liquid is introduced into the bottle or whereby the liquid within the bottle may be withdrawn.

From the construction above described it will be noted that a bottle constructed in accordance with my invention will be readily filled with an original liquid and the liquid readily dispensed, but it will be also noted that the entire contents of the bottle cannot be withdrawn, as the chamber 4 containing the outlet passages or openings 5 is arranged within the body of the bottle and below the neck of the bottle, and that a portion of the liquid will occupy the space between the chamber and the neck of the bottle, and that this quantity of liquid will always remain within the bottle and serve as a means whereby the introduction of a foreign fluid or spurious liquid may be easily and readily detected, as the original liquid is adapted to be of a color and gravity differing from the imitation liquid liable to be introduced within the bottle. It will be further noticed that the peculiar construction of the auxiliary neck having the outlet channels arranged upon the sides of the channel 4, and the channel underlying the crooked portion of the auxiliary neck, the insertion of a pump or siphon within the body of the bottle is effectively prevented.

While I have described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it will of course be understood that minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from or sacrificingany of the advantages of my invention.

Having thus fully described the invention 'what is claimed as new is:

1. A bottle having an auxiliary neck formed integrally within the neck of the bottle and having a reduced outlet chamber extending within the body of the bottle and being provided with outlet and inlet pas sages.

2. A bottle having an auxiliary neck, one wall of the auxiliary neck being formed by one side of the neck of the bottle, the opposite wall of the auxiliary neck being formed integral with the opposite wall of the opening of the bottle neck, the auxiliary neck diverging away from this wall of the bottle neck and being formed into a crooked portion within the body of the bottle and having a horizontal chamber provided with openings upon each of its sides.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN B. REILY.
